"Mother mainly saw that she was a kind-hearted child, and she thought that when we get older, you sisters can support each other.
If you encounter any difficulties, there is someone you can talk to.
Your dear sister Juhua is an honest person.
I won’t be able to count on you to take care of me in the future, so how can I have the ability to take care of you?
Daohua is a smart and kind girl. If you make friends with her, let’s not talk about what benefits you will gain from her. At least if you encounter any problems in the future, you can ask her for advice and she will not cheat or harm you.
Don’t you trust your mother’s judgment of people?
Let’s not talk about anything else, just this burn ointment, such a good medicine, it costs one or two taels of silver per bottle in Huichuntang, and eight cents of silver per bottle in Pujitang of Doctor Wang.
Moreover, their bottles all have long necks and the belly is only this small. They are not as affordable as the ones your sister Daohua brought.
It can be seen that rice flowers are not evil.
She is lucky, having been recognized by a noble person, yet she still remembers her roots, treats her family well, and cherishes the family ties. If you get along well with her now, she will treat you well in the future."
Orchid lowered her head and listened motionlessly.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to get close to Xia Daohua, but she just hasn’t found a suitable opportunity.
If she stuck it on him for no reason, she would feel embarrassed.
Seeing that Lanhua didn't say anything, Wu sighed and stopped trying to persuade her.
This child is smart, but she just can't figure it out right now. She needs to figure it out slowly on her own.
If you push too hard, it might backfire.
Wu rolled her eyes and said, "Lanhua, you should heal your injuries first in the next two days. After that, you can also help take care of your second uncle and his affairs.
It will also make life easier for my mother. What do you think?"
As long as Lanhua is not asked to please Xia Daohua, she will definitely respond.
She bit her lip and nodded, then hesitated for a moment, her eyes flickering as she asked:
"Mom, does my second uncle really never lie? My eldest cousin looks so delicate and weak, could she really be that thief?"
"Hush!" Wu looked around hurriedly, then opened the door and looked outside. Seeing that no one was around, she said to Lanhua:
"This matter has not been confirmed yet, you must not tell anyone.
If this kind of thing gets out, it might kill an entire family. Every single one of them with the surname Xia will be sent to jail!"
Lanhua was so frightened that her face turned pale. Naturally, she didn't dare to mention it again. She hurriedly promised that she would never reveal even a single word to her.
Zhou had already told Mr. Xia about this matter. The old couple was depressed for a long time and finally decided that they had to discuss this matter with Dalang.
When Jinhua, Yinhua and Zhu were abducted by the rebel army, the Xia family had nowhere to find them and thought they had met with misfortune.
If Jinhua is really still alive and has become the thief who killed officials and rebelled, then whether or not to bring her back is not something the old couple can decide.
This matter involves the lives of the entire Xia family.
But no matter how bad Jinhua is, she is still a member of the first wife's family. The only one who can be the head of the first wife's family now is Xia Dalang, so this matter naturally cannot be bypassed by him.
So, full of melancholy, he sent Silang on an errand to the academy to find Xia Dalang and asked him to come back in the evening.
When Silang saw the appearance of the old couple, he kept wondering what had happened. When he informed Xia Dalang, his expression was inevitably solemn.
Xia Dalang knew that his family would generally not disturb him while he was studying, so he immediately asked for leave from his teacher and returned with Silang.
When Xia Dalang came back, the Wu family had already eaten and drunk their fill and had a good rest. They looked much more energetic than before when they were in rags.
The Xia family squeezed together and noisily cleared out a few rooms to temporarily house the Wu family.
Of course, this is only a temporary solution for a few days. The key is for the Wu family to quickly find a suitable job. They can't always stay at relatives' homes.
Even if the Xia family is happy, the Wu family will not be happy.
After all, we are all ordinary people, and we all know the principle of helping in emergencies but not helping the poor.
If someone's family is down on their luck or in trouble, relatives and friends will naturally lend a hand, but family members cannot be so shameless as to take other people's kindness for granted.
The Wu family suffered a lot along the way, but they were not short-sighted. Seeing that the Xia family seemed to be living in a good condition, they did not have any plans. They just hoped that the Xia family could help them find some work.
The Xia family naturally felt obliged to do so.
Zhou even pulled Xia Daohua aside and quietly asked her, "Do you think the workshop run by the county magistrate's wife can hire a few more people?"
Summer Rice Flower Road:
"Grandma, if there is a suitable job, I will naturally not forget my relatives.
But the Wu family's current state shows that they have obviously suffered a lot on the road, and the work in the workshop is tiring, and their bodies may not be able to withstand it.
In my opinion, the Wu family doesn't need to rush back to work. Instead, they should eat and drink enough, rest for a few days, and then, ideally, see a doctor to treat their health problems before looking for work."
Xia Dalang initially thought that Zhou was asking him to meet relatives, and he felt a little unhappy. But since the old lady was inevitably not considerate, he should just be more tolerant.
There was a slight ripple in his heart, but his face showed no sign of it. However, he saw that as soon as Zhou saw him come in, her lips began to tremble and tears seemed to be dripping from her eyes.
Such a Zhou is very rare.
Xia Dalang's heart sank, thinking that something big might have happened!
After hearing Zhou's explanation of the whole story, Xia Dalang suddenly felt a glimmer of hope in his heart, but it quickly sank to the bottom again.
Naturally, he wanted to go look for Golden Flower.
Moreover, he also wanted to know the whereabouts of Yinhua and Zhu.
But rebellion is not a minor crime.
If Jinhua really became a rebel, it would be inconvenient for her family to recognize her if they did not want to join the rebellion.
This matter is really difficult to decide.
Xia Dalang was confused and said to Zhou:
"This matter is not easy to handle, and there is no rush. Let me think about it first. I will go back to the academy first. When I figure it out, I will send you a letter."
Zhou said:
"Da Lang, even though Jin Hua is your biological sister, she is no match for the dozens of lives lost in our Xia family, your fame, or A Liu, who lost her mother when she was young!
You can't be impulsive!
I think it's better if I go find Jinhua and take her back to Beiguan Village to live. There, the government is far away, and even if something goes wrong, it won't involve you."
Xia Dalang shook his head and said, "No, no. Beiguan Village has long been the territory of the Hu people. You and Jinhua cannot go there!"
Xia Dalang suppressed the excitement in his heart and said firmly:
"Since Jinhua is willing to be a thief, let her be.
Don’t go looking for Jinhua!
She was abducted because of the war. The entire Beiguan Town was massacred at that time. The imperial court must have known about the war in Beiguan Town.
Even if something happens to Jinhua in the future, it won't be implicated on us!"
